Morning all, £2.70 going in pot today :-)

rasp

Well done all potters. Not been around for ages but potting away in my bottle. Its quite heavy now . Added £26.08 from surveys/ ebay :j

Just finished taking my holiday things out of the car and found my work jacket with a pile of change in the pocket which I've added to the work tin. And the remainder of my euro change has gone back in to the forrin coin box.

I sold an item on eBay too big to post so decided to pot the money I collected for that rather than add it to my purse and fritter it away. That was a massive £80 and now I'm almost wishing the rest of the year away to get to count everything in there.

Gave Master Jake £4 as he decided he wanted chips from the chippy for lunch today rather than come out to dinner with us, we came back and he handed me back £1.65 :eek: didnt expect that, so into the pot its gone

My DD may have found a room in Hertfordshire near her uni. I feel sad that she may soon fly the nest. Sobbbbbb....... My husband is more like the parents in the Dulux ad. He has made noises of going to buy canary yellow paint for her room! Nasty man !

Fingers crossed for your DD, Susanne! I see your hubby is definitely a realist then....or maybe he just wants the room fresh?! Men!

It sounds as though young Lily has natural co-ordination, jakes-mum, our eldest DGS was on a bike within 2 days, no stabilisers or anything!! It's just an inbuilt thing that some have. Lily'll soon have her bike!

Just to update, beginning of jly was my 30th bday and i was going on holiday, i did not have enough spending money, so i opened my tin and there was £180 in there! spent it and had a lovely birthday.

Hi ms_night_ryder and VERY well done on your savings!!! :T Could you please pop the £180 on your siggy, after your No as it's handy to remember that way. I'm so pleased you had a lovely time.

Ooooh, November is so exciting, little_sweetie, October too as it builds up. There's no better place to be at that tie of year.

£5.50 went in the pot today.. bringing me to £105 already! crazy how easily I would of spent that change without putting it in the pot and not thinking twice about it.. think i'm turning into a good saver instead of spender :P hoping it continues! Its gonna be nice when the pot's full

Posts like that are a joy to read, themstarrynights, it's amazing how quickly people can change and how a pot can make them re-evaluate their lives. :j :T:j

Hi LC 2, I do hope things are just a little better for all or that they will soon be. Time and hugs.

Ooooh, great going, MuffinTops!!!! :T Never wish time away though, it goes quick enough as tis!

I hope you had a lovely time too, scuba.

Hi rasp and lovely to see you drop in.

Your lad's a good one, jakes-mum, bless him for thinking of the pot.

Have a super evening, everyone and a wonderful Wednesday. Keep saving hard!

Yes, Sue, it's especially exciting 'cos not only do we count our SP savings but it's my birthday too Not that I'm counting the years any more though :eek: :eek:

Met up with DD and her family at the out of town shopping centre today so that little GD could choose her own birthday gift (she will be 8 soon). We also spent a whole HOUR in the Cla*ks shoe shop trying to buy new school shoes and what a shock (to me at least!) shoes for a 5 and 8 yr old came to £68 :eek: :eek: Luckily I had given DD £40 in vouchers over the last couple of months to help out. But what a wicked price....

Dear SiL treated me to lunch so I'm potting the £1 which I would have spent on a pot of tea in As*a had I been alone

Hope you & DH are well, Sue-uu

Happy potting all x
